Own the Summer in Style With Some of Our Favorite Men’s Fashion Pieces by William Goodman

It’s always been harder for me to dress stylishly in the summer. The winter is easy; you just pile on layer after layer until you get something that just looks really awesome. Summer is the opposite; it’s a minimalist game. After all, when it’s so hot out, you just want to focus on a few core pieces that work really well together.

Summer is a great time to focus on bright colors, bold patterns, and interesting textures to keep you cool when the days are anything but. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with slipping on shorts and a T-shirt and calling it a day, there is some room to experiment and play around with different ideas. But if you’re concerned about where to start, well, we’ve got what you need.

Below, you’ll find 12 of our favorite shorts, shirts, shoes, and accessories to help you tackle this summer in the most stylish way possible. You’ll find quick and easy ways to elevate your wardrobe — while staying as cool in the face of sweltering heat.

How To Uncover Hidden Cameras in Hotels, Airbnbs & Changing Rooms by William Goodman

Americans have always been fascinated by spycraft, thanks in large part to the Cold War era’s obsession with secret agents and spies, not to mention the cultural impact of James Bond. In the Information Era, government surveilance has become something of a joke with millennials and zoomers. We crack jokes about FBI Agents monitoring our WiFi, and we assume our smartphones are listening to every word we say. Yet there’s another kind of surveillance to worry about — hidden cameras surreptitiously placed into private spaces by sketchy landlords and perverts.

In some countries, hidden spy cameras are a constant threat, and women are especially at risk of having their most intimate moments recorded without their knowledge.

Hurom’s Automatic Juicer Will Elevate Your Juicing Experience by William Goodman

A lot of us grow up drinking juice. Of course, the juice boxes you loved as a kid probably had more in common with soda than they do with healthy cold-pressed juices. As we get older and our palettes and waistlines expand, we trade those sugary juice drinks for something a little more fresh. Which is where investing in a good juicer can make a huge difference.

Of course, the best juicers can be expensive, which is why we jumped at the chance to test Hurom’s Citrus Juicer.

Sitting right at $150, the Hurom unit is still a bit of an investment, but it’s a more than worthwhile kitchen gadget. At first glance, the unit is small. That’s especially helpful for city-dwellers with small apartments who lack counter space and storage. The juicer itself, even with the handle up, fits nicely into an under sink storage area (or similar space) so it’s easy to stow away once you’re done juicing.

Here Are 11 Medical Gloves to Protect Yourself from the Coronavirus by William Goodman

As the coronavirus crisis continues to rage, it’s important we all take the most effective measures to help flatten the curve. That means, of course, to stay home and social-distance. However, there are going to be times in which people need to venture outdoors. Whether it’s just for some sunshine or to go grocery shopping, making sure you’re accomplishing those tasks as safely as possible is critical. In addition to cloth face masks, many people feel more safe wearing safety gloves, and for good reason.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is not necessary to wear coronavirus gloves when going to the grocery store or going for a walk. Rather, they recommend wearing gloves when cleaning or disinfecting clothing or surfaces that may have been contaminated. You should also wear gloves when caring for someone who is sick.

Charge’s New Line of Electric Bikes Brings Cycling Into the Future by William Goodman

Bike riding is one of America’s most beloved pastimes. Whether it’s casually, on a commute or sport cycling, it’s a critical thread of the tapestry that makes up modern life. However, most bikes feel decidedly analog in our increasingly digital world. Of course, that’s by design. But that also doesn’t mean we can’t re-imagine them to be smarter… or faster. Which is where electric bikes have come into play. There’s a chance you’ve ridden one or even tried an e-bike conversion kit. If you live in a major city, then you know they’ve become the vehicle of choice for delivery men. But finding an affordable, smartly built, and elegant electric bike for home use is still difficult. That is until Charge entered the space.

Rowing Blazers and FILA’s Collaboration is Full of Sporty Goodness by William Goodman

In many ways, collaborations are some of the most fun parts of fashion. It’s always fascinating to see what results come from two different visions joining forces to create something new and original. NYC-based menswear brand Rowing Blazers has never shied away from collaborating with all kinds of partners. From Sperry, Lands’ End, Barbour, and more, founder Jack Carlson loves to work with brands that you can tell he himself loves. And that really shows with the brand’s latest partnership with FILA.

Far more than the shoes they’ve recently popularized, FILA is a beloved sportswear brand that has a storied legacy that dates back to the early 1900s. The Italian company really took off in the 1970s however when it sponsored Swedish Tennis superstar Björn Borg. This collaboration harkens back to those tennis days, channeling those beloved court looks you might have seen in classic photos or as the inspiration for some of the fashion in The Royal Tenenbaums. But as is Jack Carlson’s penchant in his design, there’s a zag to the partnership — literally. Each of the classic pieces is emblazoned with the Rowing Blazers zig-zag pattern. The result is a set of uniquely striking items that are bold and classic in equal measure.
